COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS
Sentinel has a local presence in communities across the nation. Each Sentinel office expands our ability to better serve customers. If not co-located within a supervising agency, Sentinel’s stand-alone offices are located near supervising agencies and the participant populations which they serve.
Each facility offers a unique set of programs and services. These can include cognitive re-training and programming to counteract anger and domestic violence issues, GED exam preparation, employment preparation, drug and alcohol testing performed on site, electronic monitoring, and fine and fee collections. Services are combined in a program unique to each agency’s needs and are designed to help graduates succeed.
Participants are tested for risk-needs assessment (LSI-R) and educational and vocational aptitude with the Test Adult Basic Education (TABE). Substance abuse issues are scaled by the Addictions Severity Index (ASI). Based on these findings, belief-changing, attitude and behavior modification programs are formulated into an individualized rehabilitation plan. Personal responsibility and accountability traits are encouraged with appropriate rewards and sanctions, discussed with client agency representatives by SSC case managers.
